Moments

- Sprocket, holding one of his grandpa's pigeons. I think they're called squeakers. They're not the most attractive babies in the world, but they have their own charm. My Sprocket was enchanted.
-Poppet fishing. Shortly after this I caught my first fish in decades. I had to call for help to get it off the hook and then throw it back. But it was very exciting. The kids are loving all he fishing and yabbying trips.
-Sprocket. Shortly after this photo he fell off the edge of the jetty, chasing crabs. Luckily he was only a foot away from my beloved and was promptly fished out, but it was still a warning never to let the little ones out of sight.
-Another fishing trip. Lazy afternoon at Bribie Island.
-Frangipani. The smell intoxicates me.
-Unknown plant, but I am taken with the shade of green.
-Poppet, digging at Bribie Island, her tongue out in concentration.
-My father-in-law's pigeons, circling the house. The cooing of the pigeons was a constant over our holiday.
-Newly painted nails and sandy feet. A girly morning getting my toes done with my sister and mother in law. I'm in love with the colour, it's like having little mother of pearl shells on my feet. Then my beloved and I ran away to sea for a swim together. There is nothing as rejuvenating, enlivening and joy-making as playing in the waves, being held in six foot of curving green and then flipping down the far side… bliss!
-Poppet, stretching.

Joining with the lovely Em over at The Beetle Shack for moments from our week. Our last week in Queensland for the year. I'm back in Victoria now, the kids and my beloved return in another few days and now it's time to start preparing for school and work and study and… breathe. Such lazy, lovely days!
